Design Questions

[Kasracer]

I need to finish my site, it's been forever. SO I got a couple of questions since I'm still new to PHP/SQL:

1. I am going to have a main site with an index, then links to a few other pages plus the occasional page another level deeper. I want to use PHP/SQL so I can use 1 page as a template and dynamically bring in the content.

I have a good background in C++ so PHP hasn't been difficult at all to learn, my problem is I am not sure how exactly I would set this up. I figured putting basically all of the syntax for each apge in the database, but that defeats the purpose. Any good links or recommendations as to how to set it up?

2. After that and I get more familure with PHP/SQL, I am going to make a rather large database, it will need to be searchable and will have many categories which will have categories withing categories. It will contain a large collection of things like known bugs in my programs, fixes and stuff. I expect this database to grow rather large.

My question is, how do I go about setting THAT up? I was told the database should be very organized and setup well. Any tips/links would be nice.

It isn't very important for anyone to responce to my #2 since I'm not going to start on that for a while, I need to finish up my site.

It all depends on what you're doing, but I made a pretty simple script that hauls out pages in a database..

It might be a bit hard to set up and it would be really hard to do it through this forum, so you could try getting ahold of me on AIM, my AIM name is l33tkows, or you can try to get me on ICQ, my number is 116505406.

A screenshot of a far more advanced demo with some added stuff is below. It's only a screenshot because it's a password protected thing, and you can't see the inside unless you have the password.
